There is nothing quite like the sweet scent of Plumeria Tree in flower!
Plumerias are some of nature’s most exotic plants and over the years they have become world famous for their association with the Far East and the beautiful Hawaiian islands.
Plumeria Tree
Frangipani or temple tree flower.
More commonly known as Frangipani or temple tree, Plumerias can be found from sea level to 2000 ft elevation, are easy to grow, and bloom with only minimal care and attention.
They simply require a warm, well lit spot in a conservatory, home or garden and exposure to as much sun as your climate can offer.
A little water and some plant food is all you need add, as well as a good dose of “patience”, as some Plumerias can take up to 3-5 years to first bloom. But once this happens, your Plumeria will then continue to flower year after year after year.

Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them.
The flowers have no nectar, and simply dupe their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.

In several Pacific islands, such as Tahiti, Fiji, Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga and the Cook Islands, Plumeria flowers are still used to make the beautiful garlands or “leis”, given as a token of friendship and peace to visitors on their arrival in the islands.

the flowers can also be worn by women to indicate their relationship status – over the right ear if seeking a relationship, and over the left if taken.
Plumeria is grown as an ornamental and has widespread use in tropical landscapes around the world. Plumeria is related to the well-known Nerium oleander and both possess poisonous, milky sap.
It is generally a small tree growing to about 20 ft high. Its broad, usually round-headed canopy is often about as wide as the tree is tall.
The species and hybrids vary somewhat in size, compactness, and branching character, leaf and flower size and colour, and deciduousness.
The P. rubra types are deciduous, while P. obtusa and other white-flowered Plumeria species are evergreen.
In deciduous types, the leaves fall during wintertime, and new leaves emerge during or following the spring flowering period. My favourite is the Plumeria pudica which blooms as many as 10 months a year and has only partial leaf drop during winter.

Plumeria is grown as an ornamental
The trees reach maturity (full size) in about five years. Plumeria can also be grown to a relatively large size in large tubs.
The size of the container will control the size of the plant. Plumeria planted in a 1 gallon pot will yeild a 2-3 foot plant.
Care:
Plumeria is a hardy plant requiring little care, but they do not tolerate frost.
If you have frosty winters, bring it indoors.
Not too fussy about soil conditions, Plumeria can grow fairly close to the beach, but without full wind.
Enriched soil is preferred and good drainage should be provided. Plumeria require at least a half day of full sun to produce blooms.
Plants should be allowed to dry out between watering, but excessive dryness will result in foliage loss.
Likewise the soil should not be kept soggy wet. Regularly feeding with a fertilizer high in phosphorus (the middle number) during the growing season will produce vigorous plants with large clusters of flowers from spring to late autumn.
To keep the plant compact, avoid fertilizers high in nitrogen. Plumeria is fairly resistant to insects and diseases.

Plumeria requires pruning you should wait until the dormant period
If you feel your Plumeria requires pruning you should wait until the dormant period is well along, then cut for shape.
Propagation: Plumeria Tree
Plumeria species are easily propagated by taking a cutting of leafless stem tips in spring and allowing them to dry at the base before inserting them into soil.
They can also be propagated from seed collected from a tree, but flower quality is unpredictable, although it will tend to reflect the parent plant.
With plants started from cuttings, flowers can be expected within the first year, depending on the original cutting size and the time of year that it was taken, although only limited production will occur. Seedlings take three years or more to produce flowers.

Note: The genus, originally spelled Plumiera, is named in honour of the seventeenth-century French botanist Charles Plumier, who traveled to the New World documenting many plant and animal species.
The common name “Frangipani” comes from an Italian noble family, a sixteenth-century marquess who invented a plumeria-scented perfume.
It is generally thought that frangipanis (plumerias) are native to South & Central America although some reports claim they are native to the Caribbean and were taken to the Americas by Spanish priests.
